Overview
- Solos filed the patent suit in Massachusetts federal court on Jan. 23, seeking multiple billions of dollars in damages and an injunction to halt sales.
- The complaint targets the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 and alleges ongoing infringement by later models derived from the same platform.
- Solos claims Oakley staff saw its technology in 2015 and tested a unit in 2019, and that a former MIT researcher who worked on Solos technology later joined Meta.
- The asserted patents cover integrated system architectures, multimodal sensing, beamforming, and audio processing that Solos says underpin modern smart glasses.
- Meta’s Ray-Ban line has grown quickly with manufacturing plans reportedly scaling to tens of millions of units, and any injunction could disrupt those efforts if granted.
